Bridge Advisors

Meet with an FIU Bridge Advisor—It’s What You Do!

Bridge Advisors help you become transfer ready, which means choosing a major early, completing prerequisites in your major, meeting GPA and other requirements for  Specialized Admissions, and earning the AA degree in 3 years or less. Being transfer ready means that you can enroll in upper-division courses as soon as you transfer to FIU.

Bridge Advisors are knowledgeable about FIU majors, minors, transfer scholarships, transition resources, and much more. They also work closely with college advisors, who offer guidance on your academic/educational plan, career exploration, and registration.

Advisors

All Bridge Advisors can assist you. While we recommend meeting with one from your partner college, feel free to book with another if needed.
